So. I'd like to start this thread because last night (04.10.12) someone said SOMETHING about nVidia cards and boosting your performance. If anyone has tips and tricks please share them here.
To start off I'll share the mail I got from Technical Support about my FPS issues.
Both links present you with basic solutions to tweaking any game but some parts are a bit specific.
I didn't need to make and send them the files they mention because I managed to boost my fps slightly. I feel like I'm playing Tetris now but at least I'm not trying to aim at stuff with 10fps.

Greetings Ashoto,
Thank you for contacting Sony Online Entertainment. PlanetSide 2, being still in it's beta stages, has definitely not yet been optimized to run with all of the combinations of systems, including laptops, not withstanding the mobile graphics cards that they can use; however in most cases there are performance tweaks that can be made to increase your gameplay experience. Please review the two forum threads I've included below, they're pretty insightful guides on how to make adjustments to improve performance.

If you're still running into some performance issues, I'll need you to send me these two files so I can diagnose your system
DxDiag.txt
MSinfo.txt
I'll include instructions on how to make them below and there's a link with videos showing how to make them at the bottom of the email.
To create the files on your hard drive:
Press and hold the Windows key and tap the R key on your keyboard.
In the box that pops up type DXDIAG and press Enter on your keyboard.
Click the "Save all Information" button, located at the bottom of the program window.
In the "Save As" box click the icon in the top bar, and then click on "Desktop".
Save the file as "dxdiag.txt"
You'll need to do the Windows key and R trick again only this time you'll type MSINFO32
Click on the "File" menu and choose "Export..."
In the File name box type MSinfo and click on "Save"
You can return the generated files to us by following these instructions:
